Oh, it really clears up the stuff it is meant to clear up. If the dog
has something amoebic, or even a tough bacterial infection, though, it
can mean long-term treatment on the meds. And if she is picking it up
at the day care center (good luck investigating that ), she may be
getting re-
infected. In fact, she could be picking something up on your daily
walks if there is a source of infection around.
So, you have two considerations...one is that she did not get fully
cured the first time and two is that she is getting re-infected.
